1
Last week, I went to a bank in the United States.
2
I needed to take money from my account.
3
Simple, right?
4
But when I spoke to the cashier,
5
I said, Give me all the money from my account.
6
The cashier stopped.
7
The people behind me stopped.
8
And suddenly, everything felt very serious.
9
I smiled, but inside I was thinking,
10
Did I say something wrong?
11
In this lesson, you will learn real bank English people use every day
12
and how one sentence can sound very dangerous if you say it the wrong way.
13
Now repeat this sentence with me.
14
I think I misunderstood.
15
Good.
16
Let me tell you what happened that day at the bank.
17
Last week, I needed some cash because I had to pay back a friend.
18
She paid for lunch the day before,
19
and I promised her, I'll pay you back tomorrow.
20
It was not a lot of money,
21
but I wanted to keep my promise.
22
Repeat.
23
I'll pay you back tomorrow.
24
Good.
25
The next morning, I went to an ATM near my apartment.
26
I felt calm because I did not need to speak to anyone.
27
I only had to use the machine.
28
Card in, pin number, money out.
29
Simple.
30
At least, that is what I thought.
31
I put my card into the ATM and chose English on the screen.
32
I saw several options.
33
Balance, deposit, transfer, and cash.
34
I knew one of them was for taking money out,
35
but I did not stop to remember the exact word.
36
I just followed the screen.
37
Then the machine made a sound.
38
I waited for the cash,
39
but a message appeared on the screen.
40
No cash available.
41
I blinked.
42
No cash?
43
In an ATM?
44
Then I understood.
45
The ATM ran out of cash.
46
Repeat, the ATM ran out of cash.
47
Excellent, run out of means there is no more left.
48
The ATM had no more cash inside and now I had to make a decision.
49
There was a bank branch right next to the ATM.
50
The machine was easy, but inside the bank I had to speak to a real person in English.
51
I looked through the glass doors.
52
There was a teller at the counter,
53
and there were people waiting in line.
54
Suddenly, I felt nervous.
55
I asked myself, what is the correct way to say this in English?
56
I knew give me money sounded strange.
57
I knew take money sounded too direct.
58
But the correct word disappeared from my mind.
59
Repeat.
60
The word disappeared from my mind.
61
Good!
62
I took a deep breath,
63
opened the door, and walked inside the bank.
64
I did not know it yet,
65
but the ATM was not the real problem.
66
I walked inside the bank and joined the line.
67
There were only three people in front of me,
68
but somehow the line felt very long.
69
I looked at the teller behind the counter.
70
She was smiling and helping another customer,
71
but I still felt nervous.
72
Speaking to a machine was easy.
73
Speaking to a real person was different.
74
I looked at my phone and opened my banking app.
75
Yes, I had money in my account.
76
Not a lot, but enough to pay back my friend.
77
Repeat.
78
I have enough money in my account.
79
Good.
80
Then, I practiced quietly in my mind.
81
I need money from my account.
82
No, that sounded strange.
83
I want to take money.
84
No, that sounded too direct.
85
I want to remove money.
86
No, definitely not.
87
The line moved forward.
88
Now there was only one person in front of me.
89
My heart started beating faster.
90
The man behind me sighed loudly.
91
Maybe he was in a hurry.
92
Maybe he was just tired.
93
But now I felt even more pressure.
94
Finally, the teller looked at me and said, Next, please?
95
I stepped forward and smiled.
96
Hi, she said kindly.
97
How can I help you today?
98
This was my moment.
99
I opened my mouth, and the correct word disappeared again.
100
So I smiled with full confidence and said,
101
I need you to give me all the money from my account.
102
The teller stopped moving.
103
Her smile disappeared for one second.
104
The man behind me stopped sighing.
105
The bank suddenly felt very quiet.
106
Repeat.
107
Give me all the money from my account.
108
Good.
109
But be careful.
110
That sentence sounds too strong.
111
The teller looked at me carefully and said, I'm sorry.
112
What do you mean?
113
I felt my face getting warm.
114
I tried to explain.
115
No, no. I mean, it is my money.
116
The teller blinked.
117
Yes, I understand.
118
That did not help.
119
I pointed to my debit card.
120
I have money here, I said.
121
And I want to take it.
122
The man behind me whispered,
123
Do not hold up the line.
124
Hold up the line.
125
That means to delay everyone behind you.
126
Repeat.
127
Sorry for holding up the line.
128
Very good.
129
Now I was embarrassed.
130
I was not trying to rob the bank.
131
I was just trying to get $20.
132
But somehow, my English made the situation sound very serious.
133
The teller looked at me kindly and said,
134
Do you mean you would like to withdraw some money?
135
Withdraw!
136
There it was!
137
The word I needed!
138
I nodded quickly.
139
Yes, yes, exactly.
140
I would like to withdraw some money.
141
Repeat, I would like to withdraw some money.
142
Excellent!
143
The teller smiled again.
144
No problem, she said.
145
We can help you with that.
146
I smiled too, but inside I was thinking,
147
please, let this moment end quickly.
148
But of course, it did not end there.
149
The teller smiled and pulled a small form from under the counter.
150
Okay, she said.
151
You just need to fill out this form.
152
Fill out.
153
That means to complete a form with your information.
154
Repeat.
155
I need to fill out this form.
156
Good.
157
She handed me the paper and a pen.
158
I looked at the form.
159
Name, account number, amount, signature, simple.
160
But after what I had just said,
161
even a simple form felt difficult.
162
I looked at the line that said, amount.
163
The teller asked, how much would you like to withdraw?
164
Withdraw.
165
Now I knew the word.
166
I smiled carefully and said, $20, please.
167
She looked at me.
168
Just $20?
169
I nodded.
170
Yes, just $20.
171
The man behind me made a small sound.
172
Not a laugh.
173
Not exactly, but close.
174
I felt my face getting warm again.
175
Repeat.
176
Just $20.
177
Good.
178
The teller smiled kindly.
179
That is perfectly fine, she said.
180
I looked at the form again and wrote, $20.
181
Then I signed my name.
182
The teller looked at my ID.
183
She checked the account.
184
Then she asked, Is this for anything special?
185
I wanted to explain quickly.
186
My friend paid for lunch yesterday, I said.
187
I need to pay her back.
188
Pay back?
189
That means to return money you owe someone.
190
Repeat.
191
I need to pay her back.
192
Excellent.
193
The teller nodded.
194
That is nice of you.
195
I smiled.
196
Yes, I promised her.
197
Then I added, I am almost broke,
198
but I keep my promises.
199
The teller laughed softly.
200
Broke.
201
That means you have very little money.
202
Repeat.
203
I am almost broke.
204
Good.
205
The man behind me laughed too.
206
This time it did not feel bad.

背景与情境
在上周，我去了美国的一家银行。我的目的是从我的账户中取出一些现金，听起来很简单，对吧？但是，当我与柜员交谈时，我说出了错误的句子，导致气氛变得非常严肃。在这里，我们学习到在银行常用的英语表达以及如何避免因为一句话而让自己陷入尴尬的境地。掌握这些交流技巧对每个英语学习者来说都至关重要，尤其是在与银行工作人员或其他公众场合中交谈时。
日常交流的五个常用短语
- I think I misunderstood.（我想我误解了。）
- I’ll pay you back tomorrow.（我明天会还你。）
- The ATM ran out of cash.（取款机没现金了。）
- Can I withdraw some money?（我可以取些钱吗？）
- What’s my account balance?（我的账户余额是多少？）
逐步跟读指南
面对银行的沟通挑战，踏出「shadow speak」的第一步对于提高英语发音和沟通能力至关重要。以下是一些步骤，帮助你有效地练习：
- 选择该视频进行观看： 找到这个与银行相关的英语学习视频，准备好进行跟读。
- 重复短语： 当你听到短语时，暂停视频并大声重复。这种「shadow speech」的方式有助于提高你的语音和语调。
- 理解含义： 确保你了解每一个短语的意义及其用法。可以记下那些常用的表达方式，反复练习。
- 模拟对话： 尝试将视频中的对话与朋友或语言学习伙伴进行角色扮演，进一步加深记忆。
- 运用于真实情况： 当你去银行或类似场合时，尽量用所学的短语进行交流，以加深记忆。除了「看YouTube学英语」，试着把这些表达用于真实环境中，以提高你的自信心。
通过上述方法，持续练习将帮助你在英语交流上变得更流利、自然，进而有效地提升日常沟通的能力。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
